The ingot has a convex under-surface, with marked surface irregularities. This indicates the gold was poured into a small dished mould 7.0-7.5mm deep, possibly clay, sand or stone, and solidifying to take on the reverse contours of the rough and cracked surface. The upper surface is flatter, though domes slightly at the edges, with slight upper surface concavities. In cross-section, the ingot is D-shaped. Dendritic structures in the metal, created during cooling are visible especially on the upper surface, but also in places on the underside. The ingot has a silver gold colouration. Shallow scratches and scrapes, created through disturbance since burial, are visible on both upper and lower surfaces.
